DESCRIPTION
This module installs a list of over 557,000 common passwords and
provides a function to check a string against the list.
The password list is taken from InfoSecDaily at
. (They claim
their list is over 62K, but they must have misread their "wc" output.)
USAGE
Functions are provided via Sub::Exporter. Nothing is exported by
default.
found
found($password);
Returns true if the password is in the common passwords list.
CUSTOMIZING
You may choose an alternate password list to check by passing a "list"
parameter during import:
use Data::Password::Common found => { list => "/usr/share/dict/words" };
The file must be sorted.
